Homdn's Journal from Hartford,

This week. Michael Doyle was tried
by the Superior Court for brutal as
sault upon woman. The crime was
committed last June in Bristol. His
victim was Mrs. Lizzie Gettcrman, of
Westiield, Mass, a travelling sales
woman for whip concern. She was
passing an unfrequented place in Bris-
tol when Doyle met her and made vile
proposals to her. These were indig-
nantly refused, and then the young
man sprang at her, hit her terrible
blow on the head and felled her to the
ground. MIS- Getterman fought des-
perately, and Doyle became so en-
ragged that he struck her a powerful
blow in the face, splitting her nose.
With a great effort the woman elected
the gag from her mouth and screamed
lotdly for help. Her cries were
heard, and several men coming
TO her rescue, her brutal assailant fled.

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
A NOTED WoMAN'S CLUB.
An Organization of Women that Is Doing
Much Good Work.

An Organization of Women that Is Doing
Much Good Work.
The Chicago Women's Club was or
ganized in 1876, chiefly through the
influence of some members of the
Fortnightly, who felt that alongside of
the literary, artistic and social study
done in the Fortnightly, Chicago
women needed an organization for
planning and directing practical work
in any direction needed, and, to cover
this broad purpose, they simply named
it "Thc Chicago Womcn's Club"
The Club is divided into six commit
tees-Rcform, Philanthropy, Home,
Education, Art and Literature, Philos-
ophy and Science.
The Committee on Education gets
kindergartens, manual training and
industrial art teaching discussed in
the club. and, as opportunity permits,
they press these subjects upon the pub
lie attention. They maintain free
kindergarten. On the incoming of
the new reform mayor, last spring,
they presented to him very iniluen-
TALLY signed petition asking for the
appointment of women on the School
Board. The mayor. acknowledging
the strength of their petition, said he
felt compelled to fill all the vacancies
on the board for this year with good
business men, but that he would en-
courage the appointment of two
women rs assistant superintendents,
and another year would consider the
claims of women to positions on the
School Board. Two women assistant
superintcndents were subsequently ap-
pointed by the School Board.
The women's Club, in cooperation
with the w. c. L. IT,, has secured the
appointment of day and night matrons
in the county Jail and police stations,
and woman physician in the lunatic
asylum and poor-housc. The visits Of
the members of the Reform Committee
to these county institutions led to the
Chicago Doodle Investigations. These
women, seeing the poor quality of foot
and clothing, made complaint to the
State Board of Charities, which led tc
an investigation. In the report of tn,
Investigations made by the State Boarc

To Give the Cue.

ITO give the cue" is q common
phrase. According to most dlction-
aries, "cue" lin its theatrical sense) is
derived from the Latin "cauda,"
though the French "queue," and the
same authorities say that it means the
last words of speech which the actor
who has TO reply, catches and regards
as a notice to begin. This theory is
perhaps supported by the fact that, in
French theatrical phrases, what we
call the 'cue" is styled the ''repliquc. +"
But Mr.. Wedgewood maintains that
the above etymology is quite errone-
Gus. He says that "cue" is derived
from 20" the first letter of the Latin
"quando," which used to be marked
on the Roman players parts to show
when they were to enter and speak

THE REASON WHY,

All day long In the hay field
Young Donald works with u will
The red sun sets, and the stars come out,
And find him working still
Busily round the cottage,
Aud he whistles merry tune:
He has worked that way and whistled so ga,
Ever since a night last June.
Down in the old red farmhouse
Over beyond the brook,
The farmers daughter, Bessie,
Sits with happy look.
Aud she's sewing, sewing, sewing,
And she's singing merry tune:
She has sewed that way, and sung so cav.
Ever since night last June.
Donald is training rose-vines
over the cottage door;
And the old house wears brighter look
Than ever 1t wore before.
And Bessies snow-white sewing
viii sure be finished soon.
It's wedding-dress, it is safe to guess:
I've guessed 1t since last June,
And that is the reason why Donald
Is working early and late;
And that is the reason why Bessie
Is growing so sedate.
That is Why her song in the morning
And his scythe-blade sound in tune;
There is work to do when lovers WOO,
They have known it since last June.

A greater orator than either of these
four, if we take into account the
matter and style of his speeches, was
Edmund Burk. Fancy, imagery beauty
of diction, wide views, deep thoughts
and continuous stream of argument
are to be fonnd in his great speeches.
Yet many of them failed of effect when
delivered, because the speaker did not
utter them with the voice, manner,
figure, or gesture of an orator. When
Burk threw dagger on the floor of
the House, exclaimlng, "These are the
presents which France designs for
you" the members laughed; and
Sheridan said: "The gentleman has
brought us the knife, but where is the
fork?" But when Chatham waved
bis crutch, it became an instrument OF
oratory, and the HOUSE was as silent
as if awed by the wand of mighty
magician.
These facts suggest the Importance
Of address. 1t is not enough that the
speaker have something to say, and
can say it in fitting words. He must
speak it so that the hearers shall feel
it. To do this he must be aided by
voice, manner attitude and GESTURE

Every school-boy can recall Demos
themes action-action-action theory of
Oratory. According to it the orators
ideas and vocabulary are insufficient,
unless backed by the physical aids of
voice, manner, figure and gesture.
There are four modern orators whose
reputation, as handed down by tradi-
ton, justify the theory. They are Pat
rick Henry, Mirabeau, Chatham and
Whitefield, Neither the reported
speeches of the statesmen nor the pub
lished sermons of the clergyman ac-
count for the oratorical effects they
produced. Much must be allowed to
the great occasions, when men as in
tiammable as finder were kindled by
fiery words. But even this fact is not
sufficient to explain the traditional
reputation of these orators. They
must have spoken with voices that ex-
pressed shades of passion, with looks
that accentuated and with gestures
that emphasized their breathing
thoughts.
